Who me? It took a couple of calls to the local Autoplan agents but I ended up finding it just down the block. She's for sale too...I'll even throw in that number plate!

Is this a 944 N/A? If so are those aftermarket "turbo" valences? Looks like a pretty nice car.

Looks like a legit turbo bumper to me. There is a n/a replica but it looks boxy and squared from most pics, but then again there aren't many pics around of one fitted.

Thanks fellas! To answer some of the q's floating around: They are late offset oem 964 17" Cup I's fitted to a 1990 (available in Canada) Turbo S M030 suspension on my 85.5 NA! I did the wheels with Duplocolor's Wheel Paint. It's called 'Graphite' I believe and I got it at Canadian Tire but I've seen it at American Wal Mart, Pep Boys, AutoZone, etc. It's all about prep, do a good job on that and you'll love the results. The colour worked perfectly for making the M030 Turbo S brakes 'pop'. Both valences are aftermarket. I searched long and hard for a 'legit' looking front turbo bumper cover and finally found one. It blends decently with the 924 Turbo vented nose panel. The front spiltter will go on shortly to finish it. The rear is the typical aftermarket 'Euro Rear Valence'. I'm thinking of swapping over to the proper turbo 2 piece rear valence that stares at me longingly every time I walk in to the garage.

Where'd you get it? Only one I saw didn't look that good, it was smooshed down in the front and too square.

It came from Automotion about 3 years ago. Panel alignment outta the box is so-so at best so be prepared to spend some time trimming and shimming.

944 M....GK

Hey RJ, I saw you last week driving down Granville South for the first time. I wasn't driving this, and in traffic I wasn't able to sneak up.
